DVD.

[camwyn]

The drive came out okay, the old drive tested okay in my co-worker's computer, and everything else went all right with the swap operation at work. I brought the DVD drive home today and hooked it up. It's fine, although I have to switch the CD-Audio cable around to get the sound again... however, WinDVD wants me to use the original disc to install it. Which is a problem, because we never got the original disc. Just a computer with WinDVD installed on it already. The title's as close to transferred to me as we can get without a written document, which is allowed for in the software license (right before the bit about 'and I swear you can monitor me via the Internet to make sure I'm not doing any piratey nastiness, too'), but it won't install without the orig. CD. Bah. I'll have to find someplace and buy a copy. Oh, well...

THe Magic Red Screwdriver is somewhere in my room. Don't know where. Couldn't find it earlier, I'm sure I will tomorrow. I installed the drive using the nail file on a miniature Swiss Army knife I had on hand. Seems OK so far.
